How can you be more like Mary?

It begins with one simple but powerful prayer:

“Let it be done unto me.”

In today’s Rise Up reflection, Fr. Meyer invites us to reflect on the surrender of the Blessed Virgin Mary at the Annunciation — a total yes to God’s will.

Not my will.

What would your life look like if you truly lived those words?

Mary shows us the path:

When was the last time you saw the Son of Man lifted up?

The answer might be closer than you think.

At every Mass, Jesus becomes truly present — Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity — and is lifted up before us.

In today’s Rise Up reflection, Fr. Meyer reminds us of something powerful:

We don’t just remember the sacrifice of Christ… we enter into it.

If you’re looking for a real change in your spiritual life, start here:

➡️ Go to Mass more often

Daily Mass isn’t just for a few — it’s a game changer.

When was the last time you truly repented?

In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells the woman caught in adultery:

“Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”

Those words aren’t just about forgiveness — they’re about transformation.

In today’s Rise Up reflection, Fr. Meyer challenges us to go deeper:

Are we just confessing the same sins…

God’s mercy is real.

What in your life needs to be removed so that you can stop falling into the same sin?

You are not meant to stay stuck.

Do you believe?

Not just in your head… but in your heart?

In today’s Rise Up reflection, Fr. Meyer invites us to go deeper:

Faith isn’t just something we know —

it’s something we live.

The journey of belief moves:

➡️ from the head

➡️ to the heart

➡️ to the hands

It transforms how we think, how we love, and how we serve.

So today, ask yourself honestly:

Do I truly believe… or do I just know about God?

Why was Jesus born in Bethlehem?

It wasn’t random.

Bethlehem means “house of bread.”

In today’s Rise Up reflection, Fr. Meyer connects something incredible:

Bethlehem…

From the very beginning, God was preparing us to understand who Jesus truly is.

He is the Lamb of God.

As you prepare for Mass this weekend, take a moment to reflect on how deeply God has planned your salvation.

Do you always feel like going to Mass?

If we’re honest… probably not.

There are days when we’re tired, busy, frustrated, or just not feeling it.

But today’s Rise Up reflection reminds us of something important:

Do the right thing.

Even Jesus went where He needed to go — even when it was difficult, even when it didn’t make sense.

True joy isn’t found in doing what we feel like doing.

It’s found in doing what is right.

Where in your life is God calling you to choose faithfulness over feelings?

What are the pillars of your life?

On the Solemnity of St. Joseph, we’re given a powerful example of what it means to live with purpose, strength, and faith.

In today’s Rise Up reflection, Fr. Meyer shares four pillars from the life of St. Joseph:

Silence.

These aren’t just ideas — they’re a blueprint for becoming the man (or person) God created you to be.

Where is God calling you to grow today?

When will you stop trying to do everything on your own?

The world tells us to be strong, independent, and self-sufficient.

But today, Jesus reminds us of something radically different:

we were never meant to do life alone.

Even Jesus says He does nothing on His own — He is in complete union with the Father.

So why do we keep trying to carry everything by ourselves?

In today’s Rise Up reflection, Fr. Meyer invites us to surrender — to open our hands and say:

“God, I need you.”

Where in your life are you trying to do it all alone?

Take a moment and bring that to prayer today.

Have you ever tried to do the right thing… only to have people completely misunderstand your intentions?

In today’s Gospel, Jesus heals a man — an act of mercy and love. But instead of celebrating the miracle, people criticize Him because it happened on the Sabbath.

Even Jesus experienced what it’s like to be misunderstood.

Sometimes when we try to help others, show charity, or do what we know is right, people judge our motives, gossip, or assume the worst.

But the message of the Gospel is clear: keep doing the right thing.

You may not receive your reward here on earth — but God sees your heart.

What are you known for?

Sometimes we become known for things we did in the past — mistakes, embarrassing moments, or something people can’t seem to forget.

In today’s Gospel, people remember Jesus for turning water into wine. But that wasn’t the reason He came.

Jesus didn’t come to perform signs and wonders.

He came to save us and give us freedom from sin.  

Maybe you feel like people only see one part of your story.

But God sees something deeper.

You are not defined by your past — you are a son or daughter of God.
